Letter to Abbeville LaniDer Co.
i DearSlr: '"It costs as much to put od pool
m paint as good"?a common saying aDd truer
It costs much more to put-on poor paint
more gallons
Poor paint Is paint and barytes or paint
and sand or paint and lime or paint and
chalk or paint and benzine or paint aotl
water; these are the usual cheats; there are
others.
It takes more gallons of paint aDd-a-cheat
than ol honest paint; and the cost of the
labor or painting Is so much a gallon?one
gallon costs as much as another, for labor.
This Is the way to reckon your costs for this
year; but how about next year ?
? * Paint Devoe, and next year costs nothing;
year after next the same; the same for sever.
ai vcrth.
Paint anything else, and your costs recui
according to what you paint witb. Some ol
the mixtures wear one year; some two ; some
three.
It costs twice, tbree times, four times, five
times, as much to palot witb a cheat as to
paint with Devoe. Yours truly

TILLMAN'S TRIAL,
The Jury EiiiimiifliMl?Dcfcntltitit Ar*
ralencd-WllnrNNrN liciui; Examined
for I lie State.
LexingloD,Sepl.?2S.?Jhp. H. Tillman, some
lluae lieutenantfc-o*eruor of Soutb Carolina
and charged with the murder of Is'. U. Gouzh.
les, editor ol The Slate on the 15th or January
- last, a few days be/ore the expiration of his
term of oillce, was toaay piaceu ou irmi iur
his lire.
At 11 a. m. Solicitor Tburmmotid auooucc>
ed thu State ready.
f "We may sulVi> siiy that we thall be ready,
s though some of our witnesses are not here
1 yet," ?ald Congressman Croit of Aiken, Tillman's
leading counsel and Edgefield law
partner.
J Trie assemblage in the court room, which,
I far from crowding, scarcely tilled it, couic
scarcely realize for a moment that the trial
would actually begin, so frequent have been
the predictions of further delay. Two ses3
slons courts have intervened in Klchlatid
I siuce the homicide, the defense obtanlug continuances
at both and a change of venue at
the last. Again the spectators were agreeably
dissapoiuted when a jury was secured
by 1 15 p. m. from the original pauel. It
) would have been secured In half In hour
save for the contest over Murray Parnell.
The hearing of testimony by the State was
. commenced afier the recess. It was mainly
contlaed to policeman Boland's story <>i tbe
.' arrest of Tilimau, to the identification of
i Tillman's pistols by sheriff Coleman and
U16TK or UOUrt TT QIIVCI, bVSgUbUcl nuu kuv
, bullet from tbe German magazine pistol
i which pierced Mr. Gonzales through and
1 through, and to the identification of the
clothing worn by him, with Its bullet boles,
oil the day that he was mortally struck, the
latter being sworn to by Messrs. Hoyt. Wood
and Wallace of The State. Nearly if not all
. the Jury men were placed on their voir dlres,
and, without exception, they swore that they
' had expressed no opinions and were con'
sclous of no bias lor or against the prlslonet,
an attitude remarked by some as singula! in
j lis unanimity, considering the wide publlcl
Ity the case has received. Alter Parnell had
, answered the usual questlous the solicitor
inquired II he had a registration certificate.
He replied atMrmativel>. The solicitor swore
; Clerk of Court George and Introduced the
; connty registration books and on them Paroeli's
name did not appear.
A iengthy argument ensued. The defense
presented testimony that the orlgiual registration
books had been lost or not returned
when used in an election concerning tbe anaexatlon
of apart ol this county to Richland
. county.
Messrs. Croft and Johnstone argued that
the name might have been omitted from the
book?andthe state having propounded tbe
question on the voir dire bad waved the right
, to appeal to me oooks as me mgueui evidence.
Judge Gary held, however, that to be a
legal Juror one inus*. be a qualified elector and
directed tbe inquiry to that point. He was
about to allow Parnell to go to his home 12
miles dltuant and search lor tbe certificate
when Mr. Thurmond cousented to accept his
. ruling with the evidence at hand.
His honor ruled tbat taking Parnell's
positive statement In connection with tbe
apparent Irregularity of tbe books he would
admit blm to be sworn, whereupon the solicitor
excused Parnell and so yielded oneol
nls five challenges. Parnell was the second
man drawn and after bis case was disposed
l of the remaining 11 Jurymen were rapidly
l secured.
Tbe State bad exhausted its challenges
when eight or nine bad been sworn and the
de.'tnse had utilized all of 1U ttn belore the
Jury box was full.
the JURORS.
' Four of tbe 86, A. D. Fallow. Joel H. Geiger<
T. W. Dreberaud Simon Corley were excused
by the court for one or another cause.
Of the Jurymen selected Saylor, Rlslnger,
Leltzsey, Koon. Sbarpe, Shealey and Price
are faimers; Wood, Lybrand, Corley and
Jumper are cotton rolll operatives, and Hicks
Is a carpenter. Wood let a boss of a weave

Tbe following jurors drawn were challenged
by tbe defense: M. M. Kleekly, EugeneO.

f THE OPENING.
When the court convened at 10 a. m. the
, counsel (or the prisoner were present as lol!
lows: G. W. Croft, P. H. Nelson, O. W.
Buchanan, George Johnstone, Eflrd & Dreber
W. H. Snarpe, G. T. Graham, G. R. Kembert
' and C. L. Blease. For the State, besides
. solicitor Thurmonb, were G. D. Bellinger,
Audrew Crawlord, Win. Elliott, Jr., I. L.
I Asblll and L. T. Siurkle.
The prisoner'* mother, Mrs. G. D. Tillman,
Ills wile aud several lady trlends, were In the
court room most of the uay. Senator Tillman
was present.
THE FIRST MOVE.
Attorney Graham, as soon as the Judge enteied,
rose with a copy of The Slate in hand
aud said: "1 think limy duty to call to the
court's attention an article eutltled 'Jugglery
With the Courts.' "1 object," Interpolated
. ihe solicitor. We are here lor I he trial of this
i case aud such mailer Is not proper nor reli
evant to it."
Judge Gary aula: "aiy impression is iuui
Mr. Urabam desires to make a statement Id
benallofthe Lexington bar, and as Bucb 1
, think It proper to bear blm,"
Mr. Asblli of tbe state's counsel addressed
tbe court and said: "I consider mysell a
> member ol the Lexington bar and I bave
beard nothing of a statement ou tbe pari ol
tbe bur."
' Judge tiarj?It would not be proper to hear
tbe statement unless li comes irom tbe wbole
bur. I soiule.
Mr. fbarpo remarked that it came "from
ibe majority ol tbe Lexington bar."
THE t'KIiONEK HKOUUHT IN.
A recess of balf an bour was taken at tbe
solicitor's request during wblcb tbe prlaoner
was brought in b> SberiO Caugbman. Wben
;he solicitor announced tbe Stale ready, Mr.
. Crolt Inquired, ' Is Mr. Ambrose E. Oonzale?
' in court' and If in response to a subpoena
duces tecum issued lor tbe defense bad be
' brought tbe flies of the Columbia mate from
April 15.100^, to September 15., 1903. Counsel
lor ibe replied affirmatively, and Mr.
[ Croft declared thai though some of big wit1
uhunnt. Lhev would be here
aurt tie coulii h?fci> anuounce lUe defense
ready,
The prisoner entered the email semloctagoual
dock, which la elevated about IjJ.incbes
from the floor, and stood In It for arrainwent,
On one side stood Mr. Croft and on
the other Mr. JNelson. Clerk of Court George
read the Indictment In a matter of fact way
and the prisoner replying to the usual question,
said, "not guilty" In a voice audible
throughout the room, tie was then granted
> to lake a seat wlto his oounsel.
After tbejury had been drawn and charged
) Judge Gary directed the sheriff to have two
of his coustables sworn, whom he instructed
to take charge ot the Jury and keep them together
in the recess and to allow none to ap;
proacb them witb regard to the case.
Mr. P. H Nelnon of prisoner's counsel here
'j said : "While no literature bearing on the
case should go Into thejury's Lauds I think
" It proper to request that in view of utterances
' In the Columbia State lasi saturuay anu 10
I day tbey be especially Instructed not to read
k tbat newspaper during tbls trial."
"1 think tbat request proper," Bald the
r. Judge, aud be so Instructed tbe Jury. The
[ court tben adjourned until 3 p. m.
THE FIBST WITNESS.
Policeman Geo. Boland was tbe first witness
to take tbe stand wben court reconvened
* and bis, with the testimony of other witnesses,
Is given In the stenographic report below.
Sheriff Coleman was next called, and ibe
prisoner's two pistols were exhibited as was
also the prisoner's overcoat.
Clerk of court Walker also testified as to
tbe pistols, Requested to sbow to tbe Jury
how the magaziue pistol was operated, Mr.
Walker found some difficulty with It. Judge
Gary inquired if the pistols were loaded. The
outlet with which Mr. Gonzales was mortally
wounded was Introduced, the defense not admitting
that It was such projectile and Intimating
that possibly contrary evidence
would be ottered. Finally, when the witness*
es bad bandied tbe magazine weapon before
tbe Jury. Mr. Johnstone, who was sitting by
tbe prisoner, arose and remarked : "We are
Informed that tbat pi6tol is cocked and loaded
at this moment."
This weapon appeared to be a novelty to tbe
entire court and was eyed with close atten?
tlon.
a Messrs. James A. Hoyt, Jr., of the State,
Lewis G. Wood, Jr., a reporter for The State
and M. C. Wallace, foreman of tbe Job office,
were then sworn successfully and Identified
tbe clothing worn by Mr. Gonzales on the day
he was shot with its bullet boles. Mr. Wood,
at lb6 solicitor's request, put on tbe coal, vest
and overcoat and exhibited to the Jury the
, bullet holes, saying in reply to a question
, thai he was noi so large a man as Ibe deceased
editor. At ibis Juncture the solicitor requested
tbat the court Indulge blm until
some witnesses could arrive on an Incoming
train, but the Judge remarked that by thai
time it would be near tbe hour of adjournment
and so would adjourn the court at once.
T1IK Kll.ES.
Mr. Croft requested that the defense be allowed
to have the tiles of the Columbia State,
which bad been asked for. The solicitor said^
that tbey would be tendered at the proper
time. Mr. Nelson replied that unless they
were given to tbe defense beforehand, In time
to be exumlned, a delay would be cauaed
when tbey were Introduced. After some
further discussion and pleasantness between
the lawyers, Mr. Crawfoid of tbe prosecution
- declared tbat be bad no objection to handing
J them 10 tbe defense for the present, so that
whs agreed upon.
Then the court adjourned until 9:30 a. m
tomorrow.
Mr. Ambrose E. Gonzales, eldest brother oi
the late editor, was present throughout the
day.
Such Is an outline of tbe first day's story.
Every point was contested closely as it arose.
BrW delays were not infrequent and the
indications are that the trial will be long
drawn out. At no tune wus the court room
uucoinfortably crowded. At no time was the
least excitement manifest. A stranger would
scarcely Infer, except from the great array of
lawyers that a case of uncommon Interest
was engaging the Lexington court of sessions.

HI* Poem.
The following tender poem was the last
written by the late Hamilton Jay, whose
traglo death in Florida closed a brilliant
career in journalism: ?
The weary years have panned way,
And I am but a child again?
A little child, ho tired of play.
With folded bands and drowsy brain,
As to my mother's knee I oreep?
"Now I lay me down to sleep."
Half understanding, vague and dim,
Through childish Hps that soft repeat
Tbe trustful message seal, to him,
At once so tiurnhle and so sweet,
As slowly nodding Into sleep?
"I pray the Lord my bouI to keep,''
But now, tulnt shadows come to me.
Half wouder 11 some harm may fall,
When safe In slumber's mystery
The birds of dreaming to me call,
But drowsily the words I make?
"If I should die before I wake."
I hear my mother's accents low,
And look Into her loriug eyes,
Surely, no terror I can know
That In the smiling b??aven lies.
Should the light cords of living break
"I pray the Lord my bouI to take."

Scrlptarnl W?y? to Wealth.
Charleston Fost.
Id a recent speech David B. Hill of New
York declared that he coald And nowhere in
the Bltile authority for the great trusts and c
monopolies and aggregations of wealth that c
to-day oppress the poor of the land. A cor- f
respondent of The New York Sun thinks i
that Mr. Hill has not searched the Scriptures t
so closely as he might have or he would have t
found the precedent tor monopolies rather ]
early In his reading. This reader of the B1
blesays: J
"Mr. Hill appears to have to have over- :
looked lu his searchlngs of the Scripture the ?
trust formed by Joseph, the son of Jacob, <
when during the seven years of plenty he i
cornered all the food In the land of Egypt, t
selllug It when the years of famine came at t
such a price that he "gathered up all there
money that was in the land of Egypt and In ' 1
the land of Canaan," and when the monej
failed, took the poor people's oattle In ex- <
change for bread, and finally compelled them i
to sell their land and become servants unto 1
Pharaoh, giving their lord thenceforth as reDt I
one fifth of all their lands produced. Is ihere t
any trust known to history 011 so gigantic a 1
scale, so successful In cornering the market, t
and so remorseless In dealing with those who s
were compelled to depend upon It for the ?
necessaries of life? Yet Joseph died In the
odor of sanctity, and there Is no hint or sug- 1
cpRtinn In thp Snrlotural account of his life 0/ s
any reflection upon him for what he did to \
the poor people of Egypt." ?
Another correspondent of The Sun, refer- #
ring to Mr. Hill's further statement thai he a
could not find In the sacred volume anything r
"that Justifies the enrichment of men except y
through the old-fashioned and Sorlptural t
method of earning that which they shall p
possess, says: <1
"Let him read and ponder the way In which t
Jacob laid the foundation of his fortune wheu e
he was In Laban's service. Did the patriarch c
"earn" all the "ring-streaked and speckled" ^
beaHts which fell to bis possession under the A
contract he had made with his future father- n
in-law? Again, does Mr. Hill find that the s
Israelites "earned" the treasures which the s
Lord directed them to borrow from the Egyp- I
tlans on the eve of the Exodus? There does t
not appear to be any record of the Lord directing
a return of these "borrowed'' goods.
Did Holomon "earn that which lie possessed"
by any old-fashioned and Scriptural method?"
These be true answers to David, the Democrat.,
and verily he shall not dispose of them
without exceeding great difficulty. There t
are many excellent things in the Bible, but p
Hk citations may not be offered as material b
for construction of a system of modern gov- ii
ernment without careful editlug. u

Would I Go to College Again ?
